R. M. Hare skriver första gången om superveniens i boken Language of Morals (LM). Han är inte den förste som understrukit att värdeomdömen handlar om så kallade supervenienta egenskaper – dvs. egenskaper som tillfaller bäraren av värdet i kraft av alla eller några av dess övriga egenskaper. Han ståtar dock i många arbeten med att ha varit den första som gav denna speciella relation ett namn. Det s
Strain stability of plasmid-containing recombinant organisms is clearly important for industrial applications. Stability is normally assessed by methods such as selective colony forming units or by simply measuring the recombinant product. These methods are typically performed off-line, are time-consuming, and do not give detailed information on the changes in the metabolism. In the current work,
Objectives. To assess waiting times for three groups of orthopaedic patients in Sweden and to identify factors explaining variations in waiting time. Also examined were factors associated with patients' perceptions that waiting times were too long. Design. Retrospective study. Setting and study participants. Patients from orthopaedic units at 10 Swedish hospitals participated in the study. A quest
The "White and Green'' project completed under the EU SAVE Programme reviewed policies and measures to promote energy efficiency, which involved analysing the experience with instruments that are already implemented, and assessing innovative instruments that are proposed. In particular, the practicability of using ''White Certificates" energy efficiency) along the same lines as "Green Certificates
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under vilka villkor kan etnicitet relaterad till en invandrargrupp igenkännas och erkännas mottagarlandet? Hur omformas och förändras transnationella konstruktioner av etnicitet när de sätts in och används i lokala praktiker? Uppstår nya etniska och kulturella former när en kapitalstark transnationell grupp konfronteras med en migrationssituation? I en empirisk studie The main ambition in this study is to explore new perspectives on the relationship between ethnicity and symbolic capital, that is how different forms of ethnicity around a migrant group can be recognised and valued in the host society. At the same time, it is a case study that offers an opportunity to verify theories on local translations of transnational cultural forms by an empirical and histor
Activation of the contact system has two classical consequences: initiation of the intrinsic pathway of coagulation, and cleavage of high molecular weight kininogen (HK) leading to the release of bradykinin, a potent proinflammatory peptide. In human plasma, activation of the contact system at the surface of significant bacterial pathogens was found to result in further HK processing and bacterial
At MAX-LAB the next synchrotron light source MAX-IV is currently studied (Proceedings of the seventh European Particle Accelerator Conference, EPAC 02, Paris, France, 2002). In this paper, we present a possible lattice with horizontal emittance of 1.2 nm rad at an energy of 3 GeV. The possibilities to realise the main magnetic system with high gradient integrated magnets are studied with 2D and 3D
In this paper we study the boundary behavior of functions in Hilbert spaces of vector-valued analytic functions on the unit disc D. More specifically, we give operator-theoretic conditions on M-z, where M-z, denotes the operator of multiplication by the identity function on ID, that imply that all functions in the space have non-tangential limits a.e., at least on some subset of the boundary. The
Popular Abstract in Swedish Fetma räknas som ett av världens tio viktigaste hälsoproblem enligt WHO och ökar i snabb takt. Man beräknar att över 1 miljard av världens vuxna befolkning är överviktig, d.v.s. har ett kroppsmasseindex (BMI) ?25.0 kg/m², varav 300 miljoner är feta, d.v.s. har ett BMI ?30.0 kg/m². I Sverige är 38% av kvinnor och 58% av män mellan 25 och 64 år överviktiga, och 11% respekThe aim of this thesis was to study the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in obese individuals, as measured by different obesity measurements, and to explore how the CVD risk related to obesity was modified by other biologic and socio-demographic circumstances. Data from two population-based cohort studies was used. The Malmö Preventive Project included 22 444 middle-aged me
Foam generated by vigorous stirring of a nonionic detergent, Triton X-114, was used for the recovery of recombinant cutinase expressed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The enzyme with a hydrophobic fusion tag, (Trp-Pro)(4), was recovered with a higher yield as compared to the wild-type cutinase, indicating the involvement of hydrophobic interactions in protein isolation with the foam. The influence of
A general methodology for noise reduction and contrast enhancement in very noisy image data with low dynamic range is presented. Video footage recorded in very dim light is especially targeted. Smoothing kernels that automatically adapt to the local spatio-temporal intensity structure in the image sequences are constructed in order to preserve and enhance fine spatial detail and prevent motion blu
System verification and validation are important activitiesin the software development process aiming at testing thesoftware system in various quality aspects.The purpose of this study is to investigate theimportant characteristics of the verification andvalidation activities in the software development processin an organization. A qualitative research method isemployed in order to facilitate the
This paper analyzes the phase noise of the widely used differential LC oscillator topology and presents brief equations describing phase noise over the entire oscillation period. The findings show that if a capacitance is present at the source node of the differential pair, two phenomena occur that increase the phase noise: the switch time increases, lengthening the interval spent in a noisy balan
The study considers relations in a group of 95 managers, 41 women and 54 men, between managerial type and signs of anxiety and defense in the Defense Mechanism Technique modified (DMTm). Eight managerial types were distinguished, based on ratings of the managers by their subordinates in terms of the Ekvall and Arvonen (1991) leadership style dimensions of employee-centeredness, change-centeredness
